LSU missed out on several of its top options earlier in the spring transfer portal window, and the Tigers still have a major need along the interior of the defensive line with only two returning players with game experience at defensive tackle.
Coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] and the staff have now turned their attention to Kelly’s old stomping grounds at Grand Valley State, where they’re attempting to land Division II defensive tackle transfer [autotag]Jay’Viar Suggs[/autotag].
Suggs recently included LSU in his final four schools, and he took a trip to Baton Rouge on Monday. Though the Tigers couldn’t secure a commitment on that trip, he did check in on social media with seemingly positive impressions from his visit, which he said would be his final one.
